This is my first post, all this while, have been a silent observer of this forum. I totally disagree with you optimist.
I am total michi fan n support milsi in this entire meaningless crap. U say that prachi has put milind's interest on top n she didn't question anything since she already knew that milsi is never gonna accept it. But first of all did she ever try to explain anything to him?
I feel she deserves to be separated from milsi. She doesn't deserve all his love. He loves her more than anything n anyone n this girl just can't confide her husband. She is even ready to separate from him for a silly reason.
This issue would have been solved so easily. She would have lied to all to protect her husband and sis-in-law. But she wld have explained everything to Milsi once everybody is gone. She just kept on crying like a dumb baby without opening her mouth all this while and breaking Milind's heart at every other oppurtunity.
U just seem to be noticing the physical pain milind gives prachi n think she is mahaan but ignore the fact how much milsi is suffering because of her stupidity.
Excuse me if I was a little rude. I have always liked your observations n loved ur posts. But these days I m in total disagreement with ur views.
You are free to have your views dear. No two individuals can think alike. So you need'nt bother excusing yourself. Anyway happy to note that you got drawn to post a comment on my point of view. Atleast you have made a transition from a silent reader to an active member here.
Let me make things clear to you. It is not easy to understand Prachi,as Milind keeps saying, let alone accept her. While I understand her and accept her as a person, I do not approve or accept some of her actions.
Coming back to what Prachi did in this baby raaz case, her main fault was that she did not advise Suki properly. When she came to know the truth she should have told Suki to confide in her brother. She knows how close the two are. This is too big a secret to hide from your own brother even if you dont want him to be pained. Prachi unfortunately did not do that. This was a serious error of judgement on her part. She only asked Suki to confide in Saekt before they started out their relationship, and suki listened to her. It is another matter that Saket did not hear it and suki came to know that only after their marriage and thought it was too late by then. The bottom line is Suki respects and loves her sis-in-law very much. She would have told Milsi herself if Prachi had asked her to do so. Why did Suki not do so on her own? We all know how immature she is. I, therefore, feel Prachi made her first mistake in not asking Suki to tell the truth.
To this mistake I will add her leaving Ritwik in that orphanage even efter she knew of his existence. If it had not been for Alaap prying around at the orphanage, Ritwik would have still remained there. (So Ritwik is in SM by default and not design , which is very sad )This was even a bigger blunder than the first but I guess it is related to it. For if Milind was aware of Ritwik, they could have jointly adopted him then and given him a home.
The second mistake she did was that she overestimated her own ability to hide the secret, having promised Suki to do so, and underestimated Ayesha's ability to dig out the half truth. The series of blunders she committed in hiding the truth only goes to show Prachi's foolishness, not malice.
The third mistake she did was not to confide in Milsi on the day of Ritwik's birthday party when she already knew Ayesha was on to her and she saw for herself how much Milsi trusted in his wife at that point of time. Had she told him that there is indeed something relating to Ritwik she is hiding but is unable to tell him because she had promised someone, things would have been a lot different. She could have then convinced Suki to tell the truth to her brother after she got back so that Milsi would have accepted her.
I believe there were no other occassions where she could have told the truth after she confessed her guilt because by then Milsi's faith in her was totally shattered, nothing she would have said would have convinced him. One would wonder how come she did not defend herself in the chawl house the morning after her 'confession'when Milsi made all those accusations. I believe she would have if only the secret involved her life. She thought that this secret also involved Suki's life and as she had promised Suki to guard it she cannot break that promise. She also had this twisted logic that Milsi's love for his sister was more than that for his wife. She felt that he would be hurt more if he came to know that Ritwik was Suki's son than if he thought he is her son.
Note all these are her thoughts, not that I approve of it. In fact I condemn her foolishness, but not her.
Coming to this specific topic as to why she signed the divorce papers. The answer is simple. She loved Milind more than any one else in the whole world. When she realised that because of her he lost all faith, hope and happiness, his relationship with his father got soured on account of the divorce and he positively detests her so much that he cannot stand living with her under the same roof, what was she expected to do? Her marriage means her life to her (as she told Milsi at the waterfall confrontation). But she realised that the marriage had turned into an unbearable burden for Milsi, thanks to her actions. Holding on to some one who wants to be set free is of no use. It will only beget more bitterness on the part of the spouse and unhappiness for you. She let him go because she loved him and not because she did'nt. She was willing to give up her life (since marriage to her meant her life) for the one she loved. I found nothing wrong in her behaviour yesterday. In fact I would have been more disapppointed with her than I already am if she had not acted that way.
I especially liked the way she held his hand firmly to stop him from leaving even as he tried to wriggle out of her clutches. Reminded me of the earlier two occassions she did it. The first was when they returned from the rains and she held his hand even as he got up to leave and applied cream on his wound. That was the first gesture which showed Milsi that she has forgiven him after all that he put her thorugh by way of near rape etc. The second was when she held him back after he kissed her and apologised at the waterfall scene. The gesture led to the beautiful culmination of their love that night. Yesterday again she held him back. With Suki telling the truth finally (keeping fingers crossed), this will get back my fav jodi together again.
Sorry about this long post, but thought I had to clear the air as to where I stand on this matter. I do not only see the pain Prachi is in. I also see Milsi's pain, Neev's pain, Ritwiks's pain even Suki's pain even if you may not agree with me there. And I certainly dont think Prachi is a mahaan. If you are really reading my posts I dont think you can come to that conclusion. There are exclusive posts I made where I faulted Prachi and her misplaced priorities and self destructive paths.
In my view as far as the baby raaz goes both Prachi and Milsi are to be blamed. Only the degrees of the blame differ, with Prachi having to bear the blame more than Milsi because her actions affected more lives than his did.
You may accept my view dear or still hold on to yours. The choice is yours.
